1) It requires you to make a character. Oddly, I am still Honejasi.300 even on the PTR (same on the normal NA realm). Not sure if it "carries over" the character code from the NA realm or if it's just their "default" first number for my name.
I'm Quiriff.611 on the SEA server and the NA server, so being the same on the PTR so it's no surprise.

it is likely the unique numer is actually some sort of hash using your username and your realID as keys.

Yeah, thought it was something like that.

One thing I wish they'd do is let two players who have friended each other to know what game they're in. Right now, the location subtext only shows up for people you're RealID friends with.

Indeed, but honestly DoW, the RealID doesn't even say much. "Custom Game" .. Alrighty..

If Blizzard has killed the map-switching trick, the only loophole around the censorship/size/regional publishing restrictions, it only proves their hostility to local hosting.
I've been trying to get verification from others whether or not they can switch the maps, but nobody appears to be interested. It's all very disheartening.

Still works for me, but I'm also not using a 3rd party tool to do it.

K, just making sure. I should try again.
Edit: Ugh, stupid hidden file extensions were causing that. I can get a map to run, but adding any AI players makes it drop me instantly.

Had AI as well but it was a custom melee map.
